Morphology
The noun phrase combines 'archeological' (relating to archaeology/excavation of past human activity) with 'remains' (leftover items or vestiges), so the overall meaning of objects or relics from past human activity is directly derivable from the parts. This compositional pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
The phrase archeological remains paints a picture of people digging and finding old things in the ground. The word remains means 'things left behind' and archeological shows they come from people of the past and were dug up, so the phrase means 'old objects from past people found by digging'.
